The January 2026 U.S. military operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro accounts for the market’s “another” phrasing and has left traders seeing limited scope for repetition. Since that raid, U.S. actions in the region and elsewhere—including coordinated strikes that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader—have relied on airstrikes, sanctions, and targeted pressure rather than extraction or arrest missions against other sitting heads of state. No verified plans, official statements, or intelligence reporting point to comparable operations against leaders in Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, or elsewhere through year-end. International condemnation and legal scrutiny following the Maduro precedent further reduce the likelihood of near-term repeats, producing the current 89.5% trader consensus on “No.”

This market will resolve to "Yes" if U.S. government personnel (including U.S. military, CIA, or any U.S. federal law enforcement agency) directly participate on the ground in an operation that results in the capture of a qualifying head of state by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
Only individuals who are the active head of state of a UN member state at the time of capture will qualify. Acting/interim heads of state will qualify if they are widely recognized as holding the head-of-state office at that time.
For the purposes of this market, “capture” means the head of state is taken into physical custody and detained (including arrest, detention, or seizure) such that they are no longer free to leave at will, even if only temporarily. Voluntary surrender may qualify if it results in immediate detention/custody.
U.S. personnel must directly participate on the ground to qualify. Intelligence, surveillance, planning, logistics, transport, support, funding, training, or advisory roles alone will not count, even if they materially contribute to the operation. If U.S. personnel are physically present in the operational area and take direct action (e.g., raiding, detaining, securing, physically transferring custody), it will qualify. U.S. government contractors will be considered to be U.S. personnel if they are confirmed to be acting under the direction of U.S. government authorities.
